How do I check the coolant level in my Kia Sportage?

I am not familiar with car maintenance and would like to know the steps to check the coolant level in my Kia Sportage. Can anyone guide me through this process?

Hi Erica, to check the coolant level in your Kia Sportage, you will need to locate the coolant reservoir. It is usually a white or transparent plastic tank with a cap labeled 'coolant.' Make sure your engine is cold before proceeding. Remove the cap and check if the coolant level is between the minimum and maximum marks. If the level is below the minimum mark, you will need to add more coolant. It is important to use the correct type of coolant for your Kia Sportage. Refer to your owner's manual for the specific type of coolant to use.

Hi Erica, to avoid any confusion, it's best to check your coolant level every month and top it up if needed. You can also bring your Kia Sportage to a mechanic if you are still unsure about the process. It's important to maintain the correct level of coolant to prevent overheating and potential damage to your engine. Hope this helps!
